Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a highly desired chemical with a wide range of applications. Recent advancements in H2O2 synthesis center on the electrochemical reduction of oxygen, an environmentally friendly approach that facilitates on-site production. To successfully implement practical-scale, highly efficient electrosynthesis of H2O2, it is critical to meticulously explore both the design of catalytic materials and the engineering of other components of the electrochemical system, as they hold equal importance in this process. Development of promising electrocatalysts with outstanding selectivity and activity is a prerequisite for efficient H2O2 electrosynthesis, while well-configured electrolyzers determine the practical implementation of large-scale H2O2 production. In this review, we systematically summarize fundamental mechanisms and recent achievements in H2O2 electrosynthesis, including electrocatalyst design, electrode optimization, electrolyte engineering, reactor exploration, potential applications, and integrated systems, with an emphasis on active site identification and microenvironment regulation. This review also proposes new insights into the existing challenges and opportunities within this rapidly evolving field, together with perspectives on future development of H2O2 electrosynthesis and its industrial-scale applications.

Abstract
Photosynthesis of H2O2 from seawater represents a promising pathway to acquire H2O2, but it is still restricted by the lack of a highly active photocatalyst. In this work, we propose a convenient strategy of regulating the number of benzene rings to boost the catalytic activity of materials. This is demonstrated by ECUT-COF-31 with adding two benzene rings as the connector, which can result in 1.7-fold enhancement in the H2O2 production rate relative to ECUT-COF-30 with just one benzene ring as the connector. The reason for enhancement is mainly due to the release of *OOH from the surface of catalyst and the final formation of H2O2 being easier in ECUT-COF-31 than in ECUT-COF-30. Moreover, ECUT-COF-31 provides a stable photogeneration of H2O2 for 70 h, and a theoretically remarkable H2O2 production of 58.7 mmol per day from seawater using one gram of photocatalyst, while the cost of the used raw material is as low as 0.24 $/g.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stands as one of the foremost utilized oxidizing agents in modern times. The established method for its production involves the intricate and costly anthraquinone process. However, a promising alternative pathway is the electrochemical hydrogen peroxide production, accomplished through the oxygen reduction reaction via a 2-electron pathway. This method not only simplifies the production process but also upholds environmental sustainability, especially when compared to the conventional anthraquinone method. In this review paper, recent works from the literature focusing on the 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction promoted by carbon electrocatalysts are summarized. The practical applications of these materials in the treatment of effluents contaminated with different pollutants (drugs, dyes, pesticides, and herbicides) are presented. Water treatment aiming to address these issues can be achieved through advanced oxidation electrochemical processes such as electro-Fenton, solar-electro-Fenton, and photo-electro-Fenton. These processes are discussed in detail in this work and the possible radicals that degrade the pollutants in each case are highlighted. The review broadens its scope to encompass contemporary computational simulations focused on the 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction, employing different models to describe carbon-based electrocatalysts. Finally, perspectives and future challenges in the area of carbon-based electrocatalysts for H2O2 electrogeneration are discussed. This review paper presents a forward-oriented viewpoint of present innovations and pragmatic implementations, delineating forthcoming challenges and prospects of this ever-evolving field.

Abstract
Isolating Pd atoms has been shown to be crucial for the design of a Pd-based electrocatalyst toward 2e- oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, there are limited studies focusing on the systematic compositional design that leads to an optimal balance between activity and selectivity. Herein, we design a series of Au@Pd core@shell structures to investigate the influence of the Pd 4d orbital overlapping degree on 2e- ORR performance. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that enhanced H2O2 selectivity and activity are achieved at Pdn clusters with n ≤ 3, and Pd clusters larger than Pd3 should be active for 4e- ORR. However, experimental results show that Au@Pd nanowires (NWs) with Pd4 as the primary structure exhibit the optimal H2O2 performance in an acidic electrolyte with a high mass activity (7.05 A mg-1 at 0.4 V) and H2O2 selectivity (nearly 95%). Thus, we report that Pd4, instead of Pd3, is the upper threshold of Pd cluster size for an ideal 2e- ORR. It results from the oxygen coverage on the catalyst surface during the ORR process, and such an oxygen coverage phenomenon causes electron redistribution and weakened *OOH binding strength on active sites, leading to enhanced activity of Pd4 with only 0.06 V overpotential in acidic media.

Abstract
Polycrystalline boron-doped diamond (BDD) is widely used as a working electrode material in electrochemistry, and its properties, such as its stability, make it an appealing support material for nanostructures in electrocatalytic applications. Recent experiments have shown that electrodeposition can lead to the creation of stable small nanoclusters and even single gold adatoms on the BDD surfaces. We investigate the adsorption energy and kinetic stability of single gold atoms adsorbed onto an atomistic model of BDD surfaces by using density functional theory. The surface model is constructed using hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics embedding techniques and is based on an oxygen-terminated diamond (110) surface. We use the hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics method to assess the ability of different density functional approximations to predict the adsorption structure, energy, and barrier for diffusion on pristine and defective surfaces. We find that surface defects (vacancies and surface dopants) strongly anchor adatoms on vacancy sites. We further investigated the thermal stability of gold adatoms, which reveals high barriers associated with lateral diffusion away from the vacancy site. The result provides an explanation for the high stability of experimentally imaged single gold adatoms on BDD and a starting point to investigate the early stages of nucleation during metal surface deposition.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing porous carbons prepared by the pyrolysis of adequate biopolymer-based precursors have shown potential in several electrochemical energy-related applications. However, it is still of crucial interest to find the optimal precursors and process conditions which would allow the preparation of carbons with adequate porous structure as well as suitable nitrogen content and distribution of functional groups. In the present work we suggested a straightforward approach to prepare N-doped porous carbons by direct pyrolysis under nitrogen of chitosan : coffee blends of different compositions and using KOH for simultaneous surface activation. The synthetized carbon materials were tested for the electrochemical oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). A higher fraction of chitosan in the precursor led to a decrease in meso- and nano-porosity of the formed porous carbons, while their activity towards H2O2 generation increased. The nitrogen species derived from chitosan seem to play a very important role. Out of the synthesized catalysts the one with the largest content of pyridinic nitrogen sites exhibited the highest faradaic efficiency. The faradaic efficiencies and current densities of the synthesized materials were comparable with the ones of other commercially available carbons obtained from less renewable precursors.

Abstract
An environmentally benign, sustainable, and cost-effective supply of H2O2 as a rapidly expanding consumption raw material is highly desired for chemical industries, medical treatment, and household disinfection. The electrocatalytic production route via electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) offers a sustainable avenue for the on-site production of H2O2 from O2 and H2O. The most crucial and innovative part of such technology lies in the availability of suitable electrocatalysts that promote two-electron (2e-) ORR. In recent years, tremendous progress has been achieved in designing efficient, robust, and cost-effective catalyst materials, including noble metals and their alloys, metal-free carbon-based materials, single-atom catalysts, and molecular catalysts. Meanwhile, innovative cell designs have significantly advanced electrochemical applications at the industrial level. This review summarizes fundamental basics and recent advances in H2O2 production via 2e--ORR, including catalyst design, mechanistic explorations, theoretical computations, experimental evaluations, and electrochemical cell designs. Perspectives on addressing remaining challenges are also presented with an emphasis on the large-scale synthesis of H2O2 via the electrochemical route.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a high-demand organic chemical reagent and has been widely used in various modern industrial applications. Currently, the prominent method for the preparation of H2O2 is the anthraquinone oxidation. Unfortunately, it is not conducive to economic and sustainable development since it is a complex process and involves unfriendly environment and potential hazards. In this context, numerous approaches have been developed to synthesize H2O2. Among them, photo/electro-catalytic ones are considered as two of the most promising manners for on-site synthesis of H2O2. These alternatives are sustainable in that only water or O2 is required. Namely, water oxidation (WOR) or oxygen reduction (ORR) reactions can be further coupled with clean and sustainable energy. For photo/electro-catalytic reactions for H2O2 generation, the design of the catalysts is extremely important and has been extensively conducted with an aim to obtain ultimate catalytic performance. This article overviews the basic principles of WOR and ORR, followed by the summary of recent progresses and achievements on the design and performance of various photo/electro-catalysts for H2O2 generation. The related mechanisms for these approaches are highlighted from theoretical and experimental aspects. Scientific challenges and opportunities of engineering photo/electro-catalysts for H2O2 generation are also outlined and discussed.

Abstract
The aerobic oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes over supported heterogeneous catalysts can be considered as comprising two complementary and linked processes: dehydrogenation and oxygen reduction. Significant rate enhancements can be observed when these processes are catalyzed by independent active sites, coupled by electron transport between the two catalysts. This effect, termed cooperative redox enhancement (CORE), could significantly influence how researchers approach catalyst design, but a greater understanding of the factors which influence it is required. Herein, we demonstrate that the Au/Pd ratio used in physical mixtures of monometallic catalysts and phase-separated Au and Pd bimetallic catalysts dramatically influences the degree to which CORE effects can promote alcohol oxidation. Perhaps more interestingly, the roles of Au and Pd in this coupled system are determined to be interchangeable. Preliminarily, we hypothesize that this is attributed to the relative rates of the coupled reactions and demonstrate how physical properties can influence this. This deeper understanding of the factors which influence CORE is an important development in bimetallic catalysis.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts with a tunable coordination structure have shown grand potential in flexibly altering the selectivity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) toward the desired pathway. However, rationally mediating the ORR pathway by modulating the local coordination number of the single-metal sites is still challenging. Herein, we prepare the Nb single-atom catalysts (SACs) with an external-shell oxygen-modulated unsaturated NbN3 site in carbon nitride and the NbN4 site anchored in nitrogen-doped carbon carriers, respectively. Compared with typical NbN4 moieties for 4e- ORR, the as-prepared NbN3 SACs exhibit excellent 2e- ORR activity in 0.1 M KOH, with the onset overpotential close to zero (9 mV) and the H2O2 selectivity above 95%, making it one of the state-of-the-art catalysts in the electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide. Density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations indicate the unsaturated Nb-N3 moieties and the adjacent oxygen groups optimize the interface bond strength of pivotal intermediates (OOH*) for producing H2O2, thus accelerating the 2e- ORR pathway. Our findings may provide a novel platform for developing SACs with high activity and tunable selectivity.

Water-fueled autocatalytic bactericidal pathway based on e-Fenton-like reactions triggered by galvanic corrosion and extracellular electron transfer. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 440:129730.

Abstract
Water is generally considered to be an undesirable substance in fuel system, which may lead to microbial contamination. The antibacterial strategies that can turn water into things of value with high disinfection efficacy have been urgently needed for fuel system. Here, we reveal a water-fueled autocatalytic bactericidal pathway comprised by bi-metal micro-electrode system, which can spontaneously produce reactive oxygen species (mainly H2O2 and O2•-) by the electron Fenton-like reaction in water medium without external energy., The respiratory chain component of bacteria and the galvanic corrosion on the coated metals were two electron sources in the system. The specific model of Ag-Ru water-fueled autocatalytic (WFA) microelectrode particles presents extremely high disinfection efficiency (>99.9999%) in less than one hour for three aerobic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis) in LB media and high disinfection efficiency for the anaerobic bacteria (Desulfovibrio alaskensis) in Postgate E media without natural light irradiation. Overall, the novel WFA Ag-Ru antibacterial material explored in this study has a high potential for sterilizing applications in fuel system and this work provides the potential for the development of non-chemical and water-based antibacterial materials, such as WFA Ag-Ru antibacterial coating on stainless steel.

Abstract
The global utilization of H2 O2 is currently around 4 million tons per year and is expected to continue to increase in the future. H2 O2 is mainly produced by the anthraquinone process, which involves multiple steps in terms of alkylanthraquinone hydrogenation/oxidation in organic solvents and liquid-liquid extraction of H2 O2 . The energy-intensive and environmentally unfriendly anthraquinone process does not meet the requirements of sustainable and low-carbon development. The electrocatalytic two-electron (2 e- ) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) driven by renewable energy (e.g. solar and wind power) offers a more economical, low-carbon, and greener route to produce H2 O2 . However, continuous and decentralized H2 O2 electrosynthesis still poses many challenges. This Minireview first summarizes the development of devices for H2 O2 electrosynthesis, and then introduces each component, the assembly process, and some optimization strategies.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an efficient oxidant with multiple uses ranging from chemical synthesis to wastewater treatment. The in-situ H2O2 production via a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) will bring H2O2 beyond its current applications. The development of carbon materials offers the hope for obtaining inexpensive and high-performance alternatives to substitute noble-metal catalysts in order to provide a full and comprehensive picture of the current state of the art treatments and inspire new research in this area. Herein, the most up-to-date findings in theoretical predictions, synthetic methodologies, and experimental investigations of carbon-based catalysts are systematically summarized. Various electrode fabrication and modification methods were also introduced and compared, along with our original research on the air-breathing cathode and three-phase interface theory inside a porous electrode. In addition, our current understanding of the challenges, future directions, and suggestions on the carbon-based catalyst designs and electrode fabrication are highlighted.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (HP) production via electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR-HP) is a critical reaction for energy storage and environmental remediation. The onsite production of high-concentration H2O2 using gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) fed by air is especially attractive. However, many studies indicate that the air-GDE combination could not produce concentrated H2O2, as the [H2O2] leveled off or even decreased with the increasing reaction time. This study proves that the limiting factors are not the oxygen concentration in the air but the anodic and cathodic depletion of the as-formed H2O2. We proved that the anodic depletion could be excluded by adopting a divided electrolytic cell. Furthermore, we demonstrated that applying poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) as an overcoating rather than a catalyst binder could effectively mitigate the cathodic decomposition pathways. Beyond that, we further developed a composite electrospun PTFE (E-PTFE)/carbon black (CB)/GDE electrode featuring the electrospun PTFE (E-PTFE) nanofibrous overcoating. The E-PTFE coating provides abundant triphase active sites and excludes the cathodic depletion reaction, enabling the production of >20 g/L H2O2 at a current efficiency of 86.6%. Finally, we demonstrated the efficacy of the ORR-HP device in lake water remediation. Cyanobacteria and microcystin-LR were readily removed along with the onsite production of H2O2.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic production of H2O2 via a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR-2e-) is regarded as a highly promising decentralized and environmentally friendly mechanism for the production of this important chemical commodity. However, the underlying challenges related to the development of catalytic materials that contain zero or low content of noble metals and that are relatively more active, selective, and resistant for long-term use have become a huge obstacle for the electroproduction of H2O2 on commercial and industrial scales. The present study reports the synthesis and characterization of low metal-loaded (≤6.4 wt %) catalysts and their efficiency in H2O2 electroproduction. The catalysts were constructed using gold palladium molybdenum oxide (AuPdMoOx) and palladium molybdenum oxide (PdMoOx) nanoparticles supported on graphene nanoribbons. Based on the application of a rotating ring-disk electrode, we conducted a thorough comparative analysis of the electrocatalytic performance of the catalysts in the ORR under acidic and alkaline media. The proposed catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity (ca. 0.08 mA gnoble metal-1 in an acidic medium and ca. 6.6 mA gnoble metal-1 in an alkaline medium), good selectivity (over 80%), and improved long-term stability toward ORR-2e-. The results obtained showed that the enhanced ORR activity presented by the catalysts, which occurred preferentially via the two-electron pathway, was promoted by a combination of factors including geometry, Pd content, interparticle distance, and site-blocking effects, while the electrochemical stability of the catalysts may have been enhanced by the presence of MoOx.

Abstract
The excessive cost, unsustainability or complex production of new highly selective electrocatalysts for H2O2 production, especially noble-metal-based ones, is prohibitive in the water treatment sector. To solve this conundrum, biomass-derived carbons with adequate textural properties were synthesized via agarose double-step pyrolysis followed by steam activation. A longer steam treatment enhanced the graphitization and porosity, even surpassing commercial carbon black. Steam treatment for 20 min yielded the greatest surface area (1248 m2 g-1), enhanced the mesopore/micropore volume distribution and increased the activity (E1/2 = 0.609 V) and yield of H2O2 (40%) as determined by RRDE. The upgraded textural properties had very positive impact on the ability of the corresponding gas-diffusion electrodes (GDEs) to accumulate H2O2, reaching Faradaic current efficiencies of ~95% at 30 min. Acidic solutions of β-blocker acebutolol were treated by photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) process in synthetic media with and without chloride. In urban wastewater, total drug disappearance was reached at 60 min with almost 50% mineralization after 360 min at only 10 mA cm-2. Up to 14 degradation products were identified in the Cl--containing medium.

Abstract
We report a simple route based upon seed-mediated growth to the synthesis of Pd@Aux Pd1-x (0.8≤x≤1) core-shell nanocubes. Benefiting from the well-defined {100} facets and an optimal Au/Pd ratio for the surface, the nanocubes bearing a shell made of Au0.95 Pd0.05 work as an efficient electrocatalyst toward H2 O2 production, with high selectivity of 93-100 % in the low-overpotential region of 0.4-0.7 V. When the Au0.95 Pd0.05 alloy is confined to a shell of only three atomic layers in thickness, the electrocatalyst is able to maintain its surface structure and elemental composition, endowing continuous and stable production of H2 O2 during oxygen reduction at a high rate of 1.62 mol g(Pd+Au) -1 h-1 . This work demonstrates a versatile route to the rational development of active and durable electrocatalysts based upon alloy nanocrystals.

Abstract
Shifting electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) via two-electron pathway becomes increasingly crucial as an alternative/green method for hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) generation. Here, the development of 2e- ORR catalysts in recent years is reviewed, in aspects of reaction mechanism exploration, types of high-performance catalysts, factors to influence catalytic performance, and potential applications of 2e- ORR. Based on the previous theoretical and experimental studies, the underlying 2e- ORR catalytic mechanism is firstly unveiled, in aspect of reaction pathway, thermodynamic free energy diagram, limiting potential, and volcano plots. Then, various types of efficient catalysts for producing H2 O2 via 2e- ORR pathway are summarized. Additionally, the catalytic active sites and factors to influence catalysts' performance, such as electronic structure, carbon defect, functional groups (O, N, B, S, F etc.), synergistic effect, and others (pH, pore structure, steric hindrance effect, etc.) are discussed. The H2 O2 electrogeneration via 2e- ORR also has various potential applications in wastewater treatment, disinfection, organics degradation, and energy storage. Finally, potential future directions and prospects in 2e- ORR catalysts for electrochemically producing H2 O2 are examined. These insights may help develop highly active/selective 2e- ORR catalysts and shape the potential application of this electrochemical H2 O2 producing method.

Abstract
The chemical reactivity of two different selenium precursors (SeO2and Se) with nanoparticulated palladium was studied in a simple aqueous phase synthesis to generate palladium selenides (PdxSey). As confirmed by XRD, XPS, TEM and energy dispersive spectroscopy analyses, the products generated showed different degrees of selenization according to the nature of the chemical precursor. Such degree of selenization was more important with elemental selenium, in contrast to SeO2. Surface electrochemistry and CO stripping in alkaline medium, clearly revealed the different interactions and stability of PdxSeyachieved with the Pd/C precursor depending on the selenium source. The electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction was also influenced by the Se source, first in the different degree of reactivity, and second in the selectivity of the reduction product between H2O and H2O2, as well as the tolerance to the methanol oxidation reaction.

Abstract
The development of carbon-based materials to catalyze two-electron (2e-) pathway of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) offers great potential for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. As a class of novel two-dimensional (2D) carbon materials, graphene and its derivatives have raised increasing attention as excellent noble-metal-free catalysts in 2e ORR due to their unique structure, physical and chemical properties. This review focuses on the synthesis of main graphene family members and graphene based electrodes, as well as their applications for H2O2 generation in electrochemical systems. We describe the functions of the graphene family in electrochemical systems, such as accelerating electron transfer and increasing oxygen transfer for cathodes in electrochemical systems, aiming to reveal the enhancement mechanisms of graphene and its derivatives on H2O2 production. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for graphene family used as catalyst for H2O2 production in the future are also proposed.

Abstract
The electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) provides a greener and more efficient method compared with classic catalysts containing toxic metals. Herein, we used first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate 174 different single-atom catalysts with graphyne substrates, and conducted a three-step screening strategy to identify the optimal noble metal-free single atom catalyst. It is found that a single Ni atom loaded on γ-graphyne with carbon vacancies (Ni@V-γ-GY) displayed remarkable thermodynamic stability, excellent selectivity, and high activity with an ultralow overpotential of 0.03 V. Furthermore, based on ab-initio molecular dynamic and DFT calculations under the H2O solvent, it was revealed that the catalytic performance for H2O2 synthesis in aqueous phase was much better than that in gas phase condition, shedding light on the hydrogen bond network being beneficial to accelerate the transfer of protons for H2O2 synthesis.

Abstract
Decentralized electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) via oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) can enable applications in disinfection control, pulping and textile bleaching, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy storage. Transition metal oxides are usually not efficient catalysts because they are more selective to produce H2 O. Here, it is shown that divalent 3d transition metal cations (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) can control the catalytic activity and selectivity of columbite nanoparticles. They are synthesized using polyoxoniobate (K7 HNb6 O19 ·13H2 O) and divalent metal cations by a hydrothermal method. The optimal NiNb2 O6 holds an H2 O2 selectivity of 96% with the corresponding H2 O2 Faradaic efficiency of 92% in a wide potential window from 0.2 to 0.6 V in alkaline electrolyte, superior to other transition metal oxide catalysts. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron and operando Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopic studies, together with density functional theory calculations, reveal that 3d transition metals shift the d-band center of catalytically active surface Nb atoms and change their interactions with ORR intermediates. In an application demonstration, NiNb2 O6 delivers H2 O2 productivity up to 1 molH2O2 gcat -1 h-1 in an H-shaped electrolyzer and can yield catholytes containing 300 × 10-3 m H2 O2 to efficiently decomposing several organic dyes. The low-cost 3d transition-metal-mediated columbite catalysts show excellent application potentials.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxygen reduction in a selective two-electron pathway is an efficient method for onsite production of H2O2. State of the art noble metal-based catalysts will be prohibitive for widespread applications, and hence earth-abundant oxide-based systems are most desired. Here we report transition metal (Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu)-doped silicates, Sr0.7Na0.3SiO3-δ, as potential electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction to H2O2 in alkaline conditions. These novel compounds are isostructural with the parent Sr0.7Na0.3SiO3-δ and crystallize in monoclinic structure with corner-shared SiO4 groups forming cyclic trimers. The presence of Na stabilizes O vacancies created on doping, and the transition metal ions provide catalytically active sites. Electrochemical parameters estimated from Tafel and Koutechy-Levich plots suggest a two-electron transfer mechanism, indicating peroxide formation. This is confirmed by the rotating ring disc electrode method, and peroxide selectivity and Faradaic efficiency are calculated to be in the range of 65-82% and 50-68%, respectively, in a potential window 0.3 to 0.6 V (vs RHE). Of all the dopants, Ni imparts the maximum selectivity and efficiency as well as highest rate of formation of H2O2 at 1.65 μmol s-1.

Abstract
Electrochemical hydrogen peroxide synthesis using two-electron oxygen electrochemistry is an intriguing alternative to currently dominating environmentally unfriendly and potentially hazardous anthraquinone process and noble metals catalysed direct synthesis. Electrocatalytic two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and water oxidation reaction (WOR) are the source of electrochemical hydrogen peroxide generation. Various electrocatalysts have been used for the same and were characterized using several electroanalytical, chemical, spectroscopic and chromatographic tools. Though there have been a few reviews summarizing the recent developments in this field, none of them have unified the approaches in catalysts' design, criticized the ambiguities and flaws in the methods of evaluation, and emphasized the role of electrolyte engineering. Hence, we dedicated this review to discuss the recent trends in the catalysts' design, performance optimization, evaluation perspectives and their appropriateness and opportunities with electrolyte engineering. In addition, particularized discussions on fundamental oxygen electrochemistry, additional methods for precise screening, and the role of solution chemistry of synthesized hydrogen peroxide are also presented. Thus, this review discloses the state-of-the-art in an unpresented view highlighting the challenges, opportunities, and alternative perspectives.

Abstract
![]()
Photocatalytic
reduction of molecular oxygen is a promising route
toward sustainable production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This challenging process requires photoactive semiconductors
enabling solar energy driven generation and separation of electrons
and holes with high charge transfer kinetics. Covalent organic frameworks
(COFs) are an emerging class of photoactive semiconductors, tunable
at a molecular level for high charge carrier generation and transfer.
Herein, we report two newly designed two-dimensional COFs based on
a (diarylamino)benzene linker that form a Kagome (kgm) lattice and show strong visible light absorption. Their high crystallinity
and large surface areas (up to 1165 m2·g–1) allow efficient charge transfer and diffusion. The diarylamine
(donor) unit promotes strong reduction properties, enabling these
COFs to efficiently reduce oxygen to form H2O2. Overall, the use of a metal-free, recyclable photocatalytic system
allows efficient photocatalytic solar transformations.

Abstract
Electrochemical synthesis of H2O2 through a selective two-electron (2e−) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an attractive alternative to the industrial anthraquinone oxidation method, as it allows decentralized H2O2 production. Herein, we report that the synergistic interaction between partially oxidized palladium (Pdδ+) and oxygen-functionalized carbon can promote 2e− ORR in acidic electrolytes. An electrocatalyst synthesized by solution deposition of amorphous Pdδ+ clusters (Pd3δ+ and Pd4δ+) onto mildly oxidized carbon nanotubes (Pdδ+-OCNT) shows nearly 100% selectivity toward H2O2 and a positive shift of ORR onset potential by ~320 mV compared with the OCNT substrate. A high mass activity (1.946 A mg−1 at 0.45 V) of Pdδ+-OCNT is achieved. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure characterization and density functional theory calculations suggest that the interaction between Pd clusters and the nearby oxygen-containing functional groups is key for the high selectivity and activity for 2e− ORR. Electrocatalysts which deliver high selectivity for two-electron oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide in acidic media are sought to replace the conventional anthraquinone process. Here, the authors develop partially oxidised palladium clusters on carbon nanotubes with near 100% selectivity.

Abstract
Electrochemical hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production by the direct two-electron (2e-) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has received much attention as a promising alternative to the industrially developed anthraquinone fabrication process. Transition metal (M) and nitrogen doped carbon (M-N-C, M = Fe or Co) catalysts are known to be active for four electron ORR pathways via two + two electron transfer, where the former is for the ORR and the latter for the peroxide reduction reaction (PRR). Here, we report mesoporous N-doped carbon/manganese hybrid electrocatalysts composed of MnO and Mn-Nx coupled with N-doped carbons (Mn-O/N@NCs), which have led to the development of electrocatalysis towards the 2e- ORR route. Based on the structural and electrochemical characterization, the number of transferred electrons during the ORR on the Mn-O/N@NCs was found to be close to the theoretical value of the 2e- process, indicating their high activity toward H2O2. The favored ORR process arose due to the increased number of Mn-Nx sites within the mesoporous N-doped carbon materials. Furthermore, there was a strong indication that the PRR is significantly suppressed by adjacent MnO species, demonstrating its highly selective production of H2O2 (>80%) from the oxygen electrochemical process. The results of a real fuel cell device test demonstrated that an Mn-O/N@NC catalyst sustains a very stable current, and we attributed its outstanding activity to a combination of site-dependent facilitation of 2e- transfer and a favorable porosity for mass transport.

Abstract
The electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an attractive alternative to the present complex anthraquinone process. The objective of this paper is to provide a state-of-the-arts review of the most important aspects of this process. First, recent advances in H2O2 production are reviewed and the advantages of H2O2 electrogeneration via 2-electron ORR are highlighted. Second, the selectivity of the ORR pathway towards H2O2 formation as well as the development process of H2O2 production are presented. The cathode characteristics are the decisive factors of H2O2 production. Thus the focus is shifted to the introduction of commonly used carbon cathodes and their modification methods, including the introduction of other active carbon materials, hetero-atoms doping (i.e., O, N, F, B, and P) and decoration with metal oxides. Cathode stability is evaluated due to its significance for long-term application. Effects of various operational parameters, such as electrode potential/current density, supporting electrolyte, electrolyte pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and current mode on H2O2 production are then discussed. Additionally, the environmental application of electrogenerated H2O2 on aqueous and gaseous contaminants removal, including dyes, pesticides, herbicides, phenolic compounds, drugs, VOCs, SO2, NO, and Hg0, are described. Finally, a brief conclusion about the recent progress achieved in H2O2 electrogeneration via 2-electron ORR and an outlook on future research challenges are proposed.

Abstract
Despite its effectiveness in improving the properties of materials, strain engineering has not yet been employed to endow catalytic characteristics to apparently nonactive metals. This limitation can be overcome by controlling simultaneously lattice strains and charge transfer originated from the epitaxially prepared bimetallic core-shell structure. Here, we report the experimental results of the direct H2O2 synthesis enabled by a strained Au layer grown on Pd nanoparticles. This system can benefit the individual catalytic properties of each involved material, and the heterostructured catalyst displays an improved productivity for the direct synthesis of H2O2 by ∼100% relative to existing Pd catalysts. This is explained here by exploring the individual effects of lattice strain and charge transfer on the alteration of the electronic structure of ultrathin Au layers grown on Pd nanoparticles. The approach used in this study can be viewed as a means of designing catalysts with multiple catalytic functions.

Abstract
Electrocatalyst degradation due to dissolution is one of the major challenges in electrochemical energy conversion technologies such as fuel cells and electrolysers. While tendencies towards dissolution can be grasped considering available thermodynamic data, the kinetics of material's stability in real conditions is still difficult to predict and have to be measured experimentally, ideally in-situ and/or on-line. On-line inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a technique developed recently to address exactly this issue. It allows time- and potential-resolved analysis of dissolution products in the electrolyte during the reaction under dynamic conditions. In this work, applications of on-line ICP-MS techniques in studies embracing dissolution of catalysts for oxygen reduction (ORR) and evolution (OER) as well as hydrogen oxidation (HOR) and evolution (HER) reactions are reviewed.
